Life: It Goes On - June 14

Happy Sunday! It's a beautiful day here in very busy Omaha. The College World Series kicked off on Friday, farmer's markets are in full swing, there's an outdoor art festival, and Wicked is in town this week. Which of those have we enjoyed this weekend? Not a darn one. 

Well, that's not entirely true. The Big Guy did go to a concert Friday night with a friend (he's always up for a concert!). By and large, though we steer clear of downtown this time of June, except the going down for maybe one game each year. Instead we've thrown windows open and spent a lot of time on the patio. 

Last Week I: 


Listened To: I finished Sarah Waters' The Paying Guests and started M.L. Steadman's A Far-flung Life. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'm going to get that finished before it's due back. By the time I get it again, I'll have forgotten what I already read!


Watched: The NBA finals, the College World Series, some World Cup, and the final episode of Emily In Paris


Read: Still plugging away on the Peter Guy book. It's really good so I can't figure out why I can't make myself pick it up more often. 


Made: Homemade ranch dressing with mayonnaise with lime juice and a restaurant packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. I really didn't believe those two ingredients could make that much difference, but they certainly did. 


Enjoyed: Girl therapy Friday evening. A.k.a. happy hour with a friend that started in a restaurant and ended on my patio. It was a rough week and that time Friday was just what the doctor ordered.

This Week I’m:  


Planning: Despite the forecast for a nice week, I'm bound and determined to make a dent in our scary basement. I have a couple of days off of work this week that really gives me time to make a dent. 


Thinking About: How you are only as happy as your saddest child. 


Feeling: Like taking a nap. Even though I slept plenty last night. 


Looking forward to: Getting my hair done this week. 


Question of the week: It's a busy time of year for sports. Are you a fan of baseball, basketball or soccer?
